BREAKING: Boko Haram Kills Eight Soldiers, Beheads Victims In Early Morning Attack On Borno Army Base


Boko Haram insurgents have attacked a Nigerian Army base along the Mandara–Buratai Road in Borno State, killing at least eight soldiers and injuring several others, military sources said.

A military source at the base confirmed the attack, saying the incident occurred in the early hours of Friday during heavy rainfall.

“162 Battalion Mandara Buratai Road, eight soldiers were killed in action. They attacked us at 4 a.m. today (Friday) when it was raining,” the source said.

Another military source told SaharaReporters that the attackers overran parts of the facility and carried out a brutal assault on troops stationed there.

“They killed eight soldiers and beheaded them. Several others were injured during the attack,” the source said.

SaharaReporters gathered that the terrorists stormed the military position in large numbers, catching the troops off guard amid the bad weather conditions.

Security sources added that reinforcement teams had been deployed to the area following the attack, while efforts were ongoing to assess the full extent of casualties and recover the base.

SaharaReporters also obtained gory footage and images from the scene showing the aftermath of the assault, confirming the scale of the incident, though officials have yet to issue an official statement.

This is incredible!

Mr President, Please step aside! It's time.

I think the solution to this current problem is for Nigerians to stage a protest that "No security in Nigeria, No elections come 2027". All Nigerians should make it known to this polithiefcians that even when the tenure of this current administration runs out without any end to insecurity the military must take over.

It is obvious that we can't fight this insurgency with our paforated compromised democratic system. The current situation is a war not dialogue and only the military answers that perfectly. What these polithiefcians are doing now is fighting cancer with paracetamol.

NOTE: It is time to put on hold party rulership in this country, let only an entity that can wage war against external and internal enemies take stage until we return to where we once belong.

Arm rural communities with automatic tools and watch this madness ends 📌💯

Nigeria has fallen.

This is disheartening.

Hmmm. Make our leaders kwantinu to dey sleep

You won't see Nigerian army now gearing us to go and burn down the area. They won't even go and disturb the neighbouring community.

But let this happen in the south, you will see the usls Nigerian army going after the innocent citizens within some radius of where such incident happen.


Let the army always react decisively to issues like this. It will send a message to all these criminals that the army can't be messed with.

Oh not again, there must be an end to this

Boko Haram will kill people brutally, but when you catch them, you will rehabilitate and reintegrate them back into the society. That must be the 8th wonder of the world.

Agbero union said no amount of beheading will make their chairman leave aso rock. Just look at what a country have turn into because a man came into power with empty bullion vans and not with great ideas on how to move the country to the promise land.where is yarimo and helinues self

Nigeria has never been this bad. But we still have people defending Tinubu.


Tinubu's number one job description is security...

In 2014 this man called on Jonathan to resign for lesser reasons.

Government officials have compared these guys that beheads our military as our brothers that deserves our forgiveness when they repent. That is when I rested my case. Very soon no one will apply for military jobs when they are published since they have become sacrificial lambs.

Hope they are not christain solders. Bc I don’t trust this government and Christian genocide.

NYSC needs to be converted to 5 years of mandatory military service

And u guys say Tinubu is a master strategist abi?..and some people have guts to even say Tinubu is working?

The problem is that bullet no dey penetrate most of this terrorist body

Jesus Christ ! This is totally appalling !

Sheik Gumi will come and tell us the Boko Haram Bandits are his brothers and should be treated with kid gloves.

We know its going to get very hot all in the name of 2027 election......they dont have CBN to bring about naira scarcity hardship or fuel scarcity hardship, but they can arm fulani bandits to the hilt to cause havoc all over the country.

If you find out the identity of the slain soldiers, they are mostly southerners.

Everyone eye go soon clear

this is terrible to say the least

Now another one

Do you know what it takes to produce one soldier?

Things are getting worse oooo

My beloved Nigeria now churns out bad news daily and politicians are only concerned about election abi erections

What you described above is incomplete without an interim government take over

Tufiakwa God forbid this

Give them ther Arewa Islamic Republic to be governed with Sharia criminal laws which is what can stop the violence in Nigeria. Some people say no, they want to die quick as citizens of Nigeria.

they should continue to give them amnesty

Tinubu get lost! Step aside now!

socialmediaman:
This is incredible!

Mr President, Please step aside! It's time.

He should step aside so that the Vice President, a Northern Muslim can assume the position of the presidency, right? That's the plan all along, undermine a Southern Presidency through insecurity so a Northerner can come in through the back.

Luckyymann:
Alot of these young soldiers or should I say, non battle tested and newly transferred to let me say ( Maiduguri) in particular, both NCOs/officer's.
They really don't know how terrific and devilish those Boko Haram muzlims jihadist are.

We and others that experience and witness/repelled/attack those infidels knows the attrocities committed by those bastards and understands never to take anything for granted.

Back then when we were leaving each FOBs , I'd talk to my fellow comrades and make them understand what we've done to them and knowing they'd always look for a way to seek revenge. I'd compell them to always be on guard else their base might be overrun.

How you go tell me say, Boko Haram go capture and behead not one "8"! were they sleeping?
I'm proud to say Boko Haram felt my wrath while I was still in Active service.

As a soldier you have to make up your mind to die at anytime.
I'd rather die than watch anyone give me a stupid order, e come be B.H?

I wonder the type of soldiers them dey train now.
Biscuit soldiers!

God forbid.

Those Jihadist no get joy, they were probably sleeping 🤷🏿.
Na executionn straight, nothing like arrest 📌
